Chapter 904 Priceless Treasure

Going into February, with twenty-two rounds in La Liga, Barcelona top the table with a nine-point lead.

After the derby of the century, Pep Guardiola's team led the way with a nine-game winning streak.

Everyone knows that it's not that Real Madrid is weak, but that Barcelona is too strong and stable.

So far this season, Real Madrid's performance can be divided into two parts. In the first eleven rounds, Yang Yang has been recovering from injuries. Real Madrid lost consecutive points and fell behind Barcelona by as many as ten points. In the next eleven rounds, Yang Yang came back, and Real Madrid won ten wins and one draw. , with thirty-one points.

That is to say, since the twelfth round, Real Madrid has only drawn one game, and it is still away from Almeria.

Everyone can see that if it weren't for the loss of too many points in the first eleven rounds, which led to the widening gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​then the two teams still have to fight, and who will have the last laugh is still unknown.

It is not difficult to see from these two rounds of eleven rounds that Yang Yang is too important to the current Real Madrid team.

Especially in the recent 1-0 games in a row and the 1-1 draw with Almeria in the away game, if there is no Yang Yang, then these games are likely to continue to lose points or even lose.

In the final analysis, the overall strength of Real Madrid is still not strong enough.

...

"On paper, we have a squad that is not inferior to Barcelona at all, or even stronger."

After the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Madrid president Florentino Florentino and two advisers Valdano and Zidane, as well as manager Manuel Redondo, are eagerly waiting in the Bernabeu chairman's stand. talking.

And around them, Real Madrid fans were celebrating the team's entry into the Copa del Rey final.

At this moment, they forget that the opponent in the final is Barcelona.

As an experienced coach, Valdano has a very clear understanding of the situation of the two teams. He does not think Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona.

Although from a lineup point of view, Real Madrid is better than Barcelona with a thin bench.

"But in fact, if we get to the court, we still don't have much chance of winning. At best, it is 50-50, and Yang Yang must be present, otherwise, we will be completely disadvantaged."

Zidane is a legendary star with rich professional experience, and he has a very deep understanding of football. Florentino and Manuel Redondo are old fans for many years, and they have a deep understanding. Naturally, all of a sudden I heard Valdano's voice.

System addition!

Real Madrid is not without team cooperation. Yang Yang has cooperated with other teammates for a year, and has cooperated with Xavi Alonso and others for many years. The tacit understanding has long been established, but the entire tactical system of Barcelona has been continued in this club. It has been twenty years or even longer, and players such as Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and Pique have all grown up in this system since childhood.

It can be said that this system is deeply engraved into the soul of Barcelona players.

They go on the pitch and they know how to play and how to cooperate.

If Barcelona is like a well-disciplined army, then Real Madrid is more like a straggler.

Although the latter seems to have stronger individual strength and cooperate very well, when it comes to the battlefield, it still can't beat the opponent.

However, Barcelona's tactical system and philosophy are something other teams cannot learn.

They are unique in the world!

In addition to this unique tactical system in the world, Barcelona also has a group of extraordinary talents such as Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, which has greatly improved the overall strength of Barcelona.

As long as they are there, Barcelona's bottom line is guaranteed.

Real Madrid is not envious of this, nor will it be jealous. Everyone on the team thinks more and thinks the most, or how to surpass the opponent and how to defeat the opponent.

If they want to beat Barcelona, ​​then Real Madrid must keep Yang Yang.

"Is the information on the French side reliable?" Florentino asked Zidane with concern, with a worried look on his face.

Zidane nodded, "It is almost certain that the Qataris have acquired Paris Saint-Germain. Their goal this summer is to capture the world's top superstars, and the first consideration is Yang Yang."

The Qatari consortium was very close to Manchester United last summer, but the Glazer family’s offer scared them, which led to the Qatari consortium giving up Manchester United, but turned their heads and chose Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1.

The team has changed, but the goal has remained firm.

"Damn, are these Qataris crazy?" Manuel Redondo said with concern.

Zidane smiled bitterly, "As far as I know, the purpose of their acquisition of a football team is not to make money, but for the World Cup. For them, acquiring a team and acquiring the top superstar is like advertising. ."

Although this advertising fee may be a bit extravagant, the effect will be quite amazing.

Not to mention anything else, if they really bought Yang Yang for 200 million euros, they would appear in the world's media every week after that. Aside from the competitive aspect, it seems to be very cost-effective in terms of advertising effects alone, not to mention Behind Yang Yang are China and Asia with an amazing market size.

"Jorge, what do you think?" Florentino asked Valdano.

The Argentine also frowned, "Yang Yang is only 24 years old. From the perspective of career development, he does not need to go to Ligue 1 at this time, but it is difficult to guarantee that Paris Saint-Germain will not be tempted by a lot of money to give a sky-high annual salary."

Having said this, Valdano sighed, "Look at the past few games, Yang Yang is the savior in almost every game, without him, the gap between us and Barcelona will definitely expand to more than ten points, and it will end early. La Liga, the Copa del Rey, whether it's against Levante, Atletico Madrid or Sevilla, he has played a key role."

Florentino, Redondo and Zidane are all watching Valdano, and they all know very well the contribution Yang Yang has made to this team and the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid.

"Although it may not be very fair to other players, but..." Valdano hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Without Yang Yang's words, our competitiveness would at least drop by a level."

Real Madrid and Barcelona are not only the two giants in La Liga today, but they are also proper two giants in the European arena. In terms of team strength, it is difficult for other teams to compete with the two giants.

Of course, it is normal to have winners and losers in the game.

But if Real Madrid's overall strength drops a step, wouldn't it be similar to other giants?

How can Real Madrid maintain its detached status in European football? Why to attract the favor of other top stars?

During Calderon's reign, Real Madrid couldn't dig superstars because of this?

Valdano is in charge of Real Madrid's athletic affairs. From his words, it is not difficult to see the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid.

So the question is, how much is a superstar who can help Real Madrid improve its overall competitiveness to a higher level?

Priceless!

Yang Yang is to Real Madrid, just like Messi is to Barcelona, ​​they can't be sold no matter what!

If you can't sell it, you have to keep it.

"Is there any movement from Raiola?" Florentino asked.

"No, he seems to be busy with a Manchester United player named Paul Pogba recently," Redondo replied.

"Paul Pogba?" Florentino had never heard of the name.

Zidane took over at this time, "A young French teenager who is currently playing in the Manchester United youth academy and has great potential."

As a special adviser to the Real Madrid president, Zidane is also responsible for recommending potential stars of hope for Real Madrid, especially in the Ligue 1. At present, Zidane has recommended many players for Real Madrid, one of whom will join this summer. Real Madrid.

"Raiola is busy with other people's affairs, which proves that Yang Yang has no plans to leave the team, otherwise, Raiola should be going back and forth between Madrid and Paris at this time instead of running to Manchester. "Vardano analyzed.

Regarding Yang Yang's conduct, the four core executives of Real Madrid are also familiar with and understand. They believe that Yang Yang will not do anything against professional ethics. More importantly, Yang Yang is an ambitious person. Such a person is At the age of 24, when he is about to enter the golden years of professional players, he will not give up a stage like Real Madrid and choose Paris, the French Ligue 1.

It can be said that the truth is the same, but Real Madrid still must give a clear attitude.

"What did Sanchez say?" Florentino asked again.

Jose Sanchez, head of Real Madrid's commercial department.

"He believes that Yang Yang's body still has quite amazing commercial value to be tapped." Redondo replied.

"What about the finance department?"

"They think the finances are relatively comfortable and can support us to renew the contract with Yang Yang."

Yang Yang joined Real Madrid in 2009. He won the double championship last year. Real Madrid gave him a large bonus according to the contract. In addition, he also paid an additional double championship bonus. It can be said that the treatment is very generous, but No mention of contract renewal.

At present, Yang Yang is still the highest-paid player in football today, 5 million euros more than Messi who ranks second.

"Then call Raiola, talk to Yang Yang about renewing the contract, and further increase the liquidated damages, at least 300 million." Florentino said worriedly, the group of Middle Eastern local tyrants behind Paris Saint-Germain Under the threat, he felt that the 200 million liquidated damages could no longer ensure that Yang Yang stayed at Real Madrid.

Even 300 million may not be reassuring.

Florentino is not worried about Yang Yang's salary increase after contract renewal, because Yang Yang's business acquisition is very amazing, especially with the development of Real Madrid's business department, Yang Yang's business value is rising year by year.

Over the past year or so, Real Madrid has made a lot of money in this area.

Even if this contract is renewed and Yang Yang's salary is increased, Real Madrid can fully afford it.

Florentino stood up from his seat, looked deeply at Yang Yang below the pitch, and muttered to himself, "Leave him at the Bernabeu no matter what!"

His tone was very firm.
